IOWA CITY – Iowa City West’s sophomore duo of Dondre Alexander and Jeremy Morgan combined for 26 points Friday night as the Trojans outmuscled Cedar Rapids Xavier, 56-51, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game in Iowa City.

West took advantage of two consecutive turnovers by the Saints late in the fourth quarter that resulted in two field goals and a 52-48 lead with less than a minute remaining.

“There were about two or three possessions where we lost contact with their shooters and they made us pay for it,” said Xavier Coach Matt Jenkins.

Ryan Mains led the Saints with nine points and four rebounds. Mack Mattke added seven points off the bench, including a key 3-pointer that put Xavier within one point with two minutes remaining.
